      | ¶ | Man [that is] born of a woman [is] of few days, and full of trouble. | |
| He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not. | ||
 | And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee? | ||
| Who can bring a clean [thing] out of an unclean? not one. | ||
| Seeing his days [are] determined, the number of his months [are] with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; | ||
| Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day. | ||
| For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease. | ||
| Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground; | ||
| [Yet] through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant. | ||
| But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where [is] he? | ||
| [As] the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up: | ||
| So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens [be] no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep. | ||
| ¶ | O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me! | |
| If a man die, shall he live [again]? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come. | ||
| Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands. | ||
| For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin? | ||
| My transgression [is] sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity. | ||
| And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place. | ||
| The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow [out] of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man. | ||
| Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away. | ||
| His sons come to honour, and he knoweth [it] not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth [it] not of them. | ||
| But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn. |
